Can we actually achieve metric-ton siRNA production today using enzymatic ligation? While the ligation step is highly scalable, upstream "blockmer" synthesis remains the primary bottleneck. Advancing RNA Live panelists Claire McCleod and Jill Caswell discuss the shift from "scaling out" to "scaling up" and lessons learned in the process of achieving larger scale production.
In this opening Advancing RNA Live clip, panelists Max De Long, April Sena, and Venkat Krishnamurthy share the biggest scientific and manufacturing breakthrough made in the world of gRNA production over the past year.
In this Bioprocess Online Live panel, we discuss two experts' perspectives on the current state of the mRNA supply chain for critical raw materials and manufacturing supplies and where pain points still exist.
Camp4’s Satya Kuchimanchi highlights where he has seen the most growth in the oligo supply chain over the past few years, as well as which industry trends have been driving these shifts.
